an archer shoots an arrow at 83m/s at an 62deg angle to the horizon. how much time passes before the arrow reaches the ground

Respuesta :

Answer:

15 s

Explanation:

The arrow is a projectile in free fall. Use kinematics to find the time it takes the arrow to land.

Given in the vertical direction:

s = 0 m

u = 83 sin 62° = 73.3 m/s

a = -9.8 m/s²

Find: t

s = ut + ½ at²

0 = 73.3 t + ½ (-9.8) t²

0 = 73.3 t − 4.9 t²

0 = 73.3 − 4.9 t

t = 15

It takes the arrow 15 seconds to land.
